Humidifiers for Colder MonthsIs Your Home too Dry?

Seasonal changes outside can have big effects inside. In upstate New York, winter weather can lead to ultra-dry conditions throughout your home causing a variety of related symptoms:

Annoying shocks from static electricity

Itchy, dry skin

Always feeling “too cold” despite normal thermostat settings

Irritated sinuses and sore throats

Static cling problems with clothing and blankets

If you suffer from any or even all the above, consider adding a Whole-Home Humidifier to your heating and cooling system. It works invisibly, silently and automatically to bring your home’s humidity level into the comfort range—and keeps it there even as external temperatures and humidity levels vary from day to day.

Protect your family and your home from the unhealthy and damaging effects of over-dry air.

Dry nose, cracked, itchy skin, and sore throats are common symptoms of overly dry indoor air. How about aggravated allergy and asthma symptoms and painful static shocks? You and your family are not the only ones to experience the effects of dry air. Chipping paint and plaster, splitting or cracked wood floors, furniture, trim and molding are also common in a "dry home". Why go through another season with these problems when there is a solution—a Whole-Home Humidifier.

Turning your temperature up in the wintertime will keep you warm but won’t increase your home’s humidity level. Daily activities such as showering, cooking and doing laundry don’t produce enough moisture to keep your home’s air from being too dry. According to medical experts, many viruses thrive in low humidity increasing the likelihood of catching colds, flu and upper respiratory ailments. The American Society of Otolaryngology even reports that it is important to prevent an overly dry environment because it makes people more susceptible to infection.

A Whole-Home Humidifier from Aprilaire, installed by Hawn Heating and Air Conditioning, will deliver the perfect amount of moisture to your air making you feel more comfortable at lower thermostat settings. In fact, the EPA states that you can save up to 4% on your heating bill for every degree you lower your thermostat! Increase your family’s level of comfort and protect your valuable furnishings by adding just the right amount of moisture with an Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier.

“If too dry an environment is your problem, consider a humidifier. Clues like awakening with a sore throat, dryness in your nose, or even a nose bleed are signs of too little humidity.”
